Photo Dump: Back From India, Batch #5.

Learning how to make kolkathai (aka modak) from
the husband's grandmother.
Coffee, south Indian style.
(Left: Before, as it's presented; Right: After it's been
properly frothed and cooled.)
One of the many houseboats (really, they're more
like mansions) coming thru the backwaters.
Sunset on Lake Vembanad.
Getting the day's tender coconut from the
wallah who comes down the street every morning.

What a wonderful visit for you!! Is this the first time you have been to India?

Maven said...

Yep. First time I've been to India, and my very first trip to the continent of Asia. :)

I thought you have been to India before! What great pictures. You look wonderful!

Nope! Never been! Been married 10 years, and we've made plans before and had them dashed, I believe both times due to deaths in the family; and also because when we first got married he was here on a work visa and his first day after our honeymoon was 9/11, and we were concerned that if we did international travel, we wouldn't be able to get back home. First trip!
